NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A major delay on Nashville's East Bank development could change what fans experience at the 2030 Super Bowl, raising concerns about an active construction zone next to the new Nissan Stadium.
The Fallon Company originally planned to complete the East Bank hotel in early 2029. The developer now expects it to open about a year later.

The company said it does not yet have final financing for the project and still needs to finish design work. The Fallon Company said it needs to know where city sewers and utilities will go before it can complete its plans.
Fallon Company CEO Joe Fallon says rushing the project is not an option.
"We'd love to get it open, but getting it open and getting it wrong would be a huge mistake on our part. It's too much of a risk financially for us to take on that challenge," Fallon said.
City leaders said they are worried about having a major construction zone next to the stadium during the Super Bowl. One city board member suggested delaying the hotel groundbreaking until after the Super Bowl to avoid the disruption — but that idea could be a deal breaker for the developer.
The new Nissan Stadium remains on schedule to open in early 2027.
A metro planning official is set to meet with all parties involved to determine next steps.
